About Us

If you’re here, it’s because you probably want to know a bit more about us. Yes, we are The Grow Up. We’re your friendly guide to help you grow your own fruit and vegetables, whatever your available space.

But who are we really? There must be a human face behind this shiny platform, right?

Well, yes. We’re three friends from South Oxfordshire who realised we really should be growing our own fruit and vegetables. 

We’re always looking for fun activities to do with our young families, so there was no excuse not to get out in the garden with the kids. 
However, we don’t have a lot of time to research this stuff. But after looking online for a quick and simple way to learn about growing all in one place (we need information literally spoon fed to us)…we couldn’t find it. So we decided to create our own.

In-House Expertise

This is Lynne. You’ll be seeing a lot of Lynne, as she’s our resident expert for planting, growing, harvesting and all sorts of outside activities. Our gardening goddess, if you like. 

She’s incredibly passionate about sustainability and upcycling, and she’ll be providing all of the weekly tips and guidance to help you start growing your very own food.

We love food!

Our free Growing Guide provides everything you need to know to get digging, planting, growing, harvesting…and of course, cooking and eating!
 
We love our food. That’s definitely something you’ll find out about us! So as the site grows we’ll be adding in loads of recipes and ideas with what to do with all of the lovely food you’ll be producing.

Passionate about sustainability

We’re all a lot more environmentally conscious these days, and when you grow your own food you’re completely cutting out all food miles. There’s no better feeling than putting something on the table that you’ve grown yourself.
 
Growing your own food can be incredibly rewarding anyway, but you can also feel great about doing something good for the planet, and for future generations to come.
Plus you could even save money, and in the current climate, that’s something we could all do with!
